Exclude New Sales Orders From PIL Check

Indicate whether the system excludes products added to and removed from new orders before saving the order from the projected inventory level (PIL) check.  This record also applies to purchase, transfer, and adjustment orders. ClosedMore:

Options

  • Yes - Excludes new orders. For example, when a user makes a change to a nonstock product on a new sales order, the system does not display a message indicating that the maximum days supply of the product will be exceeded. The reason for this safeguard is if a salesperson puts a nonstock product on an order, they are advised that the action is affecting the inventory level of the item. Since nonstock items have zero demand, one of a nonstock item is an infinite days supply.

  • No - Does not exclude new orders. For example, when a user makes a change to a nonstock product on a new sales order, the system displays a message indicating that the maximum days supply of the product will be exceeded.

Outcome of setting this control record

The PIL check prevents exceeding the allowable maximum days supply of the product specified in the Maximum Days Supplycontrol maintenance record.
